If any accounts persistently do this they will be banned or exiled from posting in this thread. In these cases we may issue a warning first.

Accounts that are used only to or substantially to troll post in this thread will be banned.

********************
OK Vlogger Thread, we are going with some new parameters to try to make this the POSITIVE vlogger thread that it is supposed to be, not the AIDS vlogger thread where a few loonies ruin it for the rest. Note that 'positive' does not equal 'only positive', it means anything negative being said CAN'T be namecalling or wild, unsubstantiated speculation regarding any and all vloggers. Personal lives and anything aside from poker is OFF THE TABLE.

Even if he did sit in that game, he’s skipping the bomb pots [emoji817]

Exactly. A) putting in $5 preflop when he doesn't have to? Not happening. B) playing PLO. hell no

professors =/= teachers

They were where I went to college.

The highest paid State Employee at most major public Universities is --- The football coach.

The highest paid High School teacher I know taught shop class which paid extra. He also coached grade school basket ball and high school track, both paid extra. Before school, he got paid to drive a school bus.

Of course. And they're usually the lowest cost employee to the state.

How can a $4 million a year salary make them the lowest cost employee? When they bring in 6 to 8 million in donations, playoff fees, ticket sales, merch sales by having a great winning record.

Pretty much no other state employee is a net profit center, besides other coaches.

I never understood the fascination with BikeKing.

When exactly did his poker vlog peak? All I have ever seen from him is one excuse after the other as to why he can't play, or why he has to quit playing. When was he actually playing regularly for a living and vlogging his play regularly?

It just seems he's in the same camp as Pchild. They like the idea of making a living from poker but aren't willing to do even 1/10th of the work required in order to make it a reality. So they just fart-ass aroun

I've only seen bikeking once in a casino, and his behavior was very douchey.

They allow that? I figured the bomb pots were treated like a blind. Until you pay it, you don't get any hands.

Every room I’ve played or dealt in they were optional. Not sure about the Wynn though.

Yes, you can sit out if you want to. Believe they are not running it unless at least 50% of the players at the table want to be dealt in.


Venetian is $11 in the $2/3 game and completely optional. An OMC filled a seat and sat out, and I made a mental note that he's a nit and to not give him action.

If you are a winning player, and sit out, you are a fool. The number of players who are going all the way with just one board, and not even the nuts while having no shot at the other board is LOL.

I had two hands in a row where I had draws to the nuts on both boards and went brick brick. Each hand was five way going to the river. You had dudes calling river that didn't even win one board.

Even with not winning any bomb pots, still finished up 750 in 3 hours. Hated I had to leave for lunch.

Playing the $2/3 $600 max game at Venetian during the early football games. Phenomenal action and with players who are clueless on the double board PLO bomb pots. Not sure why Diesel can't find good games.

The game is too big for him. The max buy-in is higher than the Bellagio 2-5 game.


Ok. After lunch went to MGM to play the uncapped 1/2 game. Was thinking maybe it would get crazy after the Chiefs game ended. First table was lame. Been at my second table for 5 minutes, it might be worse. Will probably jet in 30 minutes.

I did hear table chatter that poker players with Platinum stats from poker are no longer eligible to eat in the players lounge. Could that have been a factor in El D fleeing Vegas?

He never made a single mention of a players lounge at MGM. Since he loves to brag so much about free or cheap food, I'm guessing he never ate there. Only at the buffet where he could develop a strategy for putting the most food into a takeout container.

Like fill that takeout box with rice, pasta and cereal. The most valuable items on the buffet. Then go back to his room and empty box into his cooler and cover with ice. Cheat code!


bobw, have you thought about becoming a teacher and living the high life instead of renting a room in an apartment with strangers?

No. I can't stand kids. Can't stand people in general but kids are the worst. If I was going to teach it would be English in SE Asia. But I'll probably never do that since I am so close to collecting social security.

The first part of that statement is incorrect. He made a big deal about it during the F1 last year. It featured in several of his vlogs as he couldn't contain his excitement that they were actually serving up hot food during F1.

He would eat his fill then get a cup with various meats to go and would take it with him to the poker tables to offer to the dealers, was miffed that no one accepted his gracious offer.

Ok. Sorry. They are clearly buried deep in my brain.

That's sure not me at PLO, since I've never played it. Even at O8 I seldom cash out any chips at the end.

Basically Bike king peak was 2017-2018, it was vlog 1 until the 2018 WSOP where he tries to qualify for a freeroll to the wsop main as his last resort basically. Again, a typical move of someone who purposely lives so cheaply and pinches every penny, to just super gamble sometimes. He is just a degen and has been. In that last video where he busts freeroll he is basically crying or near tears and drenched in sweat in his car, seems like a very real moment to me in a sea of lies. That is the problem with him and always was the problem, the lying.

Everything after that initial run, is BS vlogs, and in those peak vlogs, hes still lying alot, you just have to see past it, which is what i try to do.

I just see someone in him, that really wanted to win, and really tried his best to the point where he actually lived like a homeless person, and thats inspiring, he was just always misguided and had his own personality flaws that ended him basically.


There is only one vegas vlogger left with the potential to crush for decades and that is pman. He will be. Bye trooper, bye El Diesel, bye bike king...we hardly knew you.


Bike King is Pman except he is a pathological liar, an even bigger degen, doesn't have a rich parents support system and has an overall frat boy douchbag vibe around him.


Watching back his vlogs, the ego really is massive. Everyone is too stupid to do this, or they dont do this so he has an edge, meanwhile hes a super scrub. Everytime he loses its KK into AA or AA into KK or set under set, just doesnt seem very real to me in hindsight

The up and down emotions of playing i guess are what i like about them

The story that was shared here about him in the homegame is all time hilarious too, love that so much


The all time cringiest reaction to winning a $2000 pot ever. Bikeking, the professional poker player.

Starts at 4:00 mark.

This is false. Coaches get paid so much because the players don't make what their worth. Plus the NCAA is non-profit.
The NCAA is effing corrupt.

that was very cringy, although I'm less concerned with the reaction to winning the biggest pot of his life, than the crappy video commentary and explanation.
a video you edit and publish to the internet shouldn't have uh uh uh uh constantly, and then repeating "this doesn't happen to me, I don't play $1000 pots, I don't play 650 big blind pots" when you are playing a deep live stream game where those are likely to happen, just gets super annoying.

I do not miss seeing these


So, do we have any fresh update on the fire situation at Sprkli headquarters? Is it over? Will we get the old Trooper back with the poker,pizza,burgers and the classic rants?
